After the unexpected deaths of her parents, young academic Mira returns to her childhood home in Athens. On her first night back, she encounters a new neighbor, a longtime ship captain who has found himself, for the first time in years, no longer at sea. As one summer night tumbles into another, Mira and the Captain's voices drift across the balconies of their apartments, disclosing details and stories: of careers, of families, of love. For Mira, love has so often meant Aris, an ex-boyfriend and rising Greek politician who has recently become engaged to a movie star. There is, too, her love for her dear friend Nefeli-a well-known queer artist who came of age during the military dictatorship-as well as Dimitra and Fady, a couple caring for a young refugee boy. Undergirding each relationship is the love that these characters have for Athens, a beautiful but complicated city that is equal parts lushness and sharp edges. Scorpionfish is a map of how-and where-we find our true selves: in the pull of the sea; the sway of late-night bar music; the risk and promise of art; and in the sparkling, electric summertime charge of endless possibility. Award-winning author Natalie Bakopoulos weaves a story of vulnerability, desire, and bittersweet truth, unraveling old ways of living and, in the end, creating something new"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Parents $x Death $v FIction. 650 0 $a Neighborhood $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Athens (Greece) $v Fiction. 941 $a 7 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015229.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629014453.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20210917055752.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210306010344.0 952 $l XEPE697 $d 20210225010842.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20201103012826.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20200805014601.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9A9E3664CCAA11EAB0EB862797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
